Sketch (minimal test sketch)

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <DNSServer.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
#include <WiFiManager.h>

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);

I ran your sketch and it worked as expected for me. The only difference in my environment is the WiFimanager Branch. I have a clone of development.

*WM: [0] [ERROR] There was a problem starting the AP

This is coming from ESP lib, try upgrading or downgrading, or full erase your device

also this
*WM: [2] Config Portal Running, blocking, waiting for clients...
*WM: [3] -> ocsp.apple.com
*WM: [2] <- Request redirected to captive portal
implies you are connected ?

This is a problem then with your captiveportal not working, goto the 192.168.4.1 and see

Hi, it´s something wrong with the spaces.... I use underscore and works fine...

wifiManager.autoConnect("Access_Configuration_Page", "12345678");
or
wifiManager.autoConnect("Access-Configuration-Page", "12345678");

Thanks!!
